Popcorn Ceiling Removal Will Help Create A Modern Look and Feel

For years, popcorn ceilings became quite popular. The main benefit of this textured ceiling is that it conceals blemishes.

If a ceiling has existing marks or damages, cover it with an uneven texture and no one will even know. In fact, this is why it remains popular with rental units, like condos and apartments. With an ongoing turnover of tenants, it is easier to conceal blemishes rather than repair them.

However, when it comes to your own home, this type of interior ceiling look is less than desirable. If you are considering opting for popcorn ceiling removal, you should know there are a number of benefits, and not just cosmetic ones.

Above all else, popcorn textured ceilings installed prior to 1978 run the risk of containing asbestos. No matter when you think this material was installed, make it a point to get it inspected. Asbestos is dangerous and potentially deadly, and there is no reason to have it in your house.

Of course if you want your home to look more modern, the popcorn ceiling has to go. Nothing looks more outdated than this. This is especially true if your textured ceiling has collected dust and cobwebs, making it a point to really show its age.

Popcorn ceilings are next to impossible to paint, which means you are stuck with the same white textured ceiling, until you make the move to get rid of it. The only other option is to spend a lot of money to get it professionally painted. However, if you are going to invest that much into the project, why not just have the texture removed?

They also are notorious for showing dirt because they are so difficult to properly clean. Dust and cobwebs cling to this texture. Yet using feather dusters or paper towels to wipe the debris away ends up leaving traces stuck in the texture.

Ironically, this popcorn appearance that is ideal for hiding blemishes, because of its irregular pattern, becomes a nightmare to try and repair. Repairs end up easy to spot and sometimes it means the entire ceiling would need to be re-textured.
